How it's used

Focuses on the active process of following a trail or monitoring movement, often used in professional or investigative contexts. While it can apply to physical objects, it is frequently used for digital activities like tracking packages or monitoring internet traffic. It carries a more serious or technical tone compared to simply following someone.
